Product Overview
High-quality VALEO COM2008 stalk switches designed as direct replacements for Citroën C3 II and DS3 models. This multifunctional switch assembly controls turn signals, headlight functions and some wiper/intermittent settings depending on vehicle specification. The cruise control actuator/switch is not included and must be ordered separately.
Why Choose This Part
Designed to match OE form, fit and function, the VALEO COM2008 stalk provides reliable electrical contacts and mechanical feel for workshop repairs or DIY servicing. Ideal for mechanics and experienced home technicians who need a proven replacement part with known OEM cross-references.
Technical Information
- Manufacturer: Valeo
- Model: Citroën C3 II, DS3

Compatibility
Fits Citroën C3 II and DS3 vehicles equipped with the VALEO COM2008 steering column module. Before installation, verify that the original stalk assembly matches the pictured/measured connector and mounting arrangement. This unit replaces the multifunction stalk assembly; it does not include the separate cruise control module or trim pieces unless explicitly stated.
Installation And Replacement
Recommended for qualified mechanics or experienced DIYers. Typical replacement procedure:
- Disconnect the battery and wait a few minutes to discharge residual power.
- Remove the steering column trim screws and split the covers to access the stalk assembly.
- Unplug electrical connectors and release any retaining clips securing the stalk module.
- Fit the new stalk assembly, secure clips, reconnect connectors and reassemble the steering column covers.
- Reconnect the battery and verify all functions (indicators, lights, wipers, horn and any related switches) before finishing.
Mounting Recommendations
- Always disconnect the battery before starting work to avoid short circuits or airbag system warnings.
- Avoid excessive force when removing or fitting connectors; inspect pins for corrosion or damage.
- Test all electrical functions before final reassembly of trim panels.
- If vehicle has advanced options (e.g. steering wheel controls, integrated cruise features), confirm feature functionality after installation and fit any separate cruise control switch as required.
Common Failure Causes
Stalk switches usually fail due to wear and tear of mechanical contacts, contamination (dust, moisture) causing corrosion, or physical damage from impacts. Symptoms include intermittent or non-working indicators, faulty headlight stalk functions, sticky or loose lever action, or complete loss of a function controlled by the stalk. Replacement is recommended once electrical contact or mechanical integrity is compromised.
Notes For Mechanics
This part is intended as a direct repair component for workshops and competent enthusiasts. Verify pinout and connector compatibility during installation and ensure all functions are tested on the bench or vehicle before completing the job to avoid comebacks.
